* 2015-08-04 [http://www.vegetariantimes.com/recipe/golden-thai-curry-with-green-beans/ Golden Thai Curry with Green Beans] quadrupled, with 8 cups rice, since we expected a lot of extra people for the open house after maker festival.  Turns out the storm kept most people away, so we actually had a small amount left over!  It's a good looking dish and tastes good too, but it's not really exceptional - just good solid food. 
* 2015-07-28 [http://smithsvegankitchen.blogspot.ca/2015/02/cauliflower-with-roasted-red-pepper.html Cauliflower with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce] doubled and a repeat of [http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2835667/jerk-sweet-potato-and-black-bean-curry Jerk sweet potato & black bean curry] also doubled.  Maker Festival open house, so we are expecting 44 extra people, so we made a bit extra.  The cauliflower dish was OK, but not great.  The jerk dish as always is awesome.

* 2015-07-24 [http://allrecipes.com/recipe/juiciest-hamburgers-ever/ Juiciest Hamburgers Ever] tripled for the hacklab 7th birthday party.  Plus 16 veggies burgers of assorted types, and about 10 different topings including bacon & caramelized onions.  Great burgers.

* 2015-07-21 [http://allrecipes.com/recipe/the-best-vegetarian-chili-in-the-world/ The Best Vegetarian Chili in the World]. Doubled, with bread from Mabels.  Easy to make, and smelled really good.  It was good, but hardly best in the world.  Although we DID forget to put the corn in, so maybe that was the finishing touch?

* 2015-07-14 [http://www.yummly.com/recipe/external/Vietnamese-Bun-Cha-With-Sticky-Spicy-Tofu-1164315 Vietnamese bun cha with sticky spicy tofu] and [http://itdoesnttastelikechicken.com/2014/05/24/cucumber-avocado-rolls/ Cucumber Avocado Rolls], the vietnamese dish tripled, the cucumbers doubled.  Both are delicious, especially the vietnamese bun cha, would make again for sure!  Served a lot of people, 2 packages of vermicelli noodles is a lot!  Next time, press and dry the tofu, since it takes forever to brown while wet - I made in three batches, took more than 10 minutes each.  I chopped the mint (rather than leaving leaves), which worked great.
